Since the Chinese New Year is round the corner, I finally got to making a proper batch of the cookies after the trial attempt a couple of weeks back.

A few days after the trial attempt, I realized why my cookies were too buttery.. The original recipe calls for 1 cup or 2 sticks of butter, and instead of finding out what 1 cup of butter is in grams, I took the 2 sticks of butter as the final value. I had halved the recipe, so I used a stick of butter that I had on hand.. Guess what? My stick of butter measured at exactly 1 cup (227g)! I had used twice the amount! Good grief~

This time round, I used the right amount of butter and tweaked the recipe a tiny bit.
